PHILIP POVLOTZKY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

IvIAoI-IINE FOR DELIVERING LIQUIDS.

Application filed September To [0 1072/0772, it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP PovLoTzKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chigago, in the county of Cook and State of ilhnois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for Delivering-Liquids, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an apparatus for delivering liquid, such as perfume, through an atomizer, the delivery being controlled by coin-operated mechanism.

The device embraces a charging valve which controls the flow of fluid from the reservoir to a receptacle having cups to receive the fluid, and which receptacle is shifted by the operation of the machine to bring the cup in position to be discharged by a blast of air produced by an air-pump which is operated by the manipulation of the machine. The charging-valve and discharging-receptacle have double passages and cups, so that one cup is always full and ready to be discharged. The movement of the valve and discharging-receptacle and of the other parts is produced by novel mechanical devices which are described hereinafter. i

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine. Fig. 2 is a front elevation. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4 4 of Fig. Fig. 5 is a section similar to Fig. 3, but showing the discharging-receptacle in an intermediate position, as in its movement to shift the cups with respect to the atomizing or discharging tube. Fig. 6 is a detail in side view of a double cam controlling the shift of the receptacle. Figs. 7 and 8 are front and rear views of the cams. Fig. 9 is a detail showing the cams and shifting device in mid-position. Figs. 10 and Here details in side and end view, showing the pawl-and-ratchet connection between the operating-shaft and the wheel which operates the pump. Fig. 12 is a detail in plan view, showing the connections between the shaft and the shifting-receptacle, parts above said receptacle being removed.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 10 indicates the hollow post, mounted on the base 10 serving as a supporting-standard for the machine. WVithin the said post is located an air-pump 9, having a tube 9 leading to the atomizing or delivery tube 30. The pump may be of any desired construc- Specification of Letters Patent.

tion, but is preferably constructed with a plunger 9 within the barrel of the pump, connected by a strap 9 with a wheel 9 which is mounted loosely on the main shaft 15 of the machine. The wheel has a pawland-ratchet engagement with the shaft, so that the wheel will turn when the shaft is turned in one direction, but not in the other. The shaft has a crank-handle 16 When turned in the direction of the arrow a, Fig. 1, the wheel turns and lifts the plunger of the pump. The pawl is shown at 15 carried by the wheel and engageable in the notch of the ratchet 15 on the shaft. On reaching a certain pointthat is, when the pump-plunger is at the top of the barrelthe pawl 15 strikes a projecting finger 15 secured to the frame of the machine, and is thrown out of engagement with the notch, which releases the wheel and allows the plunger to slide down by its own weight in the pump-barrel, and thus force 'out the air therein, which discharges the liquid from one of the cups, as will more fully hereinafter appear.

Mounted on the shaft 15 are cams 16 and 16*, having irregular or eccentric-shaped rims and carrying between them a switchpoint 17, which acts to strike and shift an arm 18, (see Figs. 8 and 9,) mounted on a shaft 19, supported in bearings in the frame of the machine. This shaft is for operating the charging-valve 22 and also the discharging-receptacle 24, from which the fluid is delivered through the atomizing-tube 30. The shaft 19 makes a half-turn in consequence of the movement of the arm 18, produced by the cams l6 and 16, the rims of which engage said arm. At the beginning of the turn of the shaft 15 one cam, say 16, engages said arm, as shown in Fig. 8, and turns it up to middle position, as shown in Fig. 9. It is then struck by the switch and thrown over to the opposite cam 16, by which it is engaged and caused to make another quarter-turn, so that the shaft 19 makes in all a half-turn, which is necessary to shift the block 24 from one position to the other. In passing the switch-piece 17 the arm 18 leaves the switch in such position as to strike the arm at the next revolution of the cams 16 and 16 and thus throw the arm to the opposite side at the next operation.

The valve 22 is a slide-valve, sliding-upon a base-plate 26 and having two angular ports Arranged in parallelism to 22 and 22 The stem 19 of this valve is connected by a bent rod 19- to a crank 19 (see Fig. 12) on the shaft 19. Beneath the valve 22 the baseeplate 26 has two depending nipples 26" and 26 ,with which, respectively, the ports 22 and 22? will register in the reciprocation of the valve. Fluid is delivered to the respective passages in the valve from the reservoir 14, which is supported on the frame of the machine, through a pipe 13 and through a passage Z3 forms the top of the casing in which the valve works. The nipples 26 and 26 act as ducts from the valve into the cups 2 1 and 24 of the shifting block or receptacle 24, and in the operation of the machine fluid is fed alternately through said nipples to the respective cups.

the crank 19" is a crank 19 and the block 24 is mounted upon and carried by these cranks. Simultaneous operation of the cranks is effected by a link 21, connecting arms 21 and 21 on the respective crank-shafts. The cranks swing back and forth as the shaft 19 is turned one way or the other to bring the cups into a position to alternatelyreceive fluid from the respective nipples, so that one or the other of the cups will be under one of the nipples and from which the cup receives a charge of the fluid when the valve is moved to the proper position.

Mounted upon the plate 26, in a position midway between the nipples 26 and 26 is the deliveryand atomizing tube, comprising an outer air-tube 30, to which air is supplied by the pump through the tube 9, and within the tube 30 is a similar tube 32 for the liquid. This latter tube projects below the plate 26 and also through and below a rubber cushion 25, attached to the under side thereof. Said tube 32 projects far enough to reach almost the bottom of the cups. A charge of fluid having been put in the cup by the means above indicated, the block 2 1 is shifted to bring the cup up under said tubes and against the rubber cushion 25. The purpose of the rubber cushion is to make an air-tight connection, so that the fluid, under pressure, will be delivered only through the atomizingtubes. Having reached this position, the airpressure begins by release of the weighted "plunger 9, and the air entering through the tube 9 forces the liquid up and out through the tube 32 to delivery.
